Overview
Happy Jack is a puzzle adventure with running, jumping and fighting. You play as a pumpkin called Jack who lives in Halloweeenville. The Halloween Spirit is corrupting everyone in town and all the candy has mysteriously disappeared. Jack must save the town by undertaking three perilous quests; collect the candy, fight the bosses and solve puzzles. There is also an additional Battle Challenge for those who enjoy the combat parts of the game. There is a lot of variety in Happy Jack with interesting characters and fun gameplay in a colourful world. It is unusual in that the combat is more comical than violent.
The cartoon styled land of the game is Halloween themed but in a child friendly way with cute characters. Even the fighting involves you punching characters until they feel happy and start dancing. There is a lot of exploration to do to complete all your quests which will involve navigating obstacle courses, and enemies to defeat by punching or firing a catapult.
A great game for spooky season, but can be enjoyed all year round.
